If it was me I would get them chromed to fit in with the headers and silencers.
If you don't want to do that it would have to be silver exhaust paint, black would look odd sandwiched between the chrome sections. Please don't wrap them with silencer bandage! One of my pet hates. 😣

The headers aren't really in very good condition. What if I painted them too? Black / Silver...?

I found a heat resistant mat dark grey. I really like it.
The left side exhaust is finished. All the way from new studs in the head, painted black crowns, to the 2 silencers on the hanger with a new pillion peg installed.
Now the trick is to get the right pair decently mirrored.

Oh, and more importantly...
